Yeah, sort of....

The previous idea was to explicitly use -static-libstdc++ for gold.
People didn't like that because they wanted it to be configurable.  This
patch makes it configurable using the existing configure options.

I don't think libtool is an issue here as we are already using these
options when configured with --enable-build-with-cxx.  As far as I know
libtool is never used with these options anyhow, as I don't think we
ever use libtool to build a program.  Though of course we might do that
someday.
